Insta360 X4 Action Camera Underwater Camera Review
Not even two years after the release of their popular X3 4K 360-degree camera, Insta360 has once again proven that they are best at 360-degree action cameras. When it comes to 8K resolution, you may assume (like we did) that you’d need a professional—and large—camera to capture beautiful scenes reminiscent of wildlife documentaries. Now, with the latest Insta360 X4, everyone can film stunning 360-degree, 8K footage in the palm of their hand.
This small camera has everything a keen content creator will need to produce sharp and engaging footage, whether it’s 8K 360-degree, super slo-mo 4K, or even an 11K time lapse. There are countless accessories and mounts, such as the 10-foot (3 m) extended selfie stick that can produce drone-like footage.
When paired with its own Invisible Dive Case X4, which is waterproof to 165 feet (50 m), scuba divers and freedivers can capture all kinds of underwater scenes in 8K, all with a camera that is so convenient to carry. Since the Insta360 X4 films a 360-degree sphere, you can enjoy your time underwater and worry about whether to keep or cut footage later in the very smart AI app.
